Thanks for the welcome back! its nice to be back nice to know your still around!

Thanks for the links aswell, i'll take a look at them now.

As for my experiment tonight, wow, absolute success to say the least...i used Randys recipe with your calculations for a 6 inch pan (and used skimmed milk powder..all i could find in the local supermarket)...but i used an 8 inch pan as it seemed that most poeple were saying it was too thick...i didnt even use the fridge and simply left it on the worktop for a couple hours until it doubled in size, then pressed it down and started to preheat the oven and let it rise a little again....topped it with garlic buter and cheese and baked in the pan on the stone for 10 minutes at 450...the result was absolutely delicious...the crust was lovely and golden, crisp on the outside and lovely and soft on the inside...the mrs highly approved aswell!

I cant wait to make a pizza using this dough - something different from my usual pizza dough which ive been using nearly every week!

My next step is to buy a 12 inch pan so i can make a pizza with this...im assuming i'd get away with using the 10 inch formula assuming i was happy with tonights thickness..which was about 3/4 of an inch

That was a damn nice pizza!! pity my other half wouldn't agree, so it's highly unlikely!! lol when i made that one she was off visiting her mum lol

Tonights experiment was a real success though, made a nice change to my usual drier NY style crust..this was alot softer/bread like in texture which we really enjoyed...so im really looking forward to making a pizza with this recipe.

My next quest is to find a suitable a 12 inch pan to make it in...i cant wait...i'll probably use the 10" recipe and stretch it in the 12" pan..the thickness tonight seemed spot on

If you are talking about the Pizza Hut clone, my numbers were intended to create an amount of dough as was used by Pizza Hut before they went to frozen doughs in their stores. However, if you feel that the amount of dough I calculated is too much for your tastes, then you of course can try stretching it or otherwise forming it (e.g., proofing it) to fit the larger pan size. You could also use the same approach with the dough that I came up with for Jet_deck. For his pizza, I came up with an amount of dough to simulate a Godfather's pizza. It was more than what I came up with for a corresponding size PH clone dough.
